| | July 31 to August 7, 2009 | | | | Thank you for making our vacation (wedding, honeymoon, etc.) so pleasant. We started hopeful and afraid at the same time, not knowing exactly what to expect with us 3 on the same boat, but surprise surprise: we enjoyed the snorkeling, the food, the drinks and loved your jokes. English lessons for our little one and we understand better how peaceful "Victoria Busy" can be sometimes. Thanks for all, it's been a week to remember and we will try to do it again in the future. Alina & Andra | | | | | | | | We, Alina, Andra & Victor appreciate your hospitably, sensitivity and helpful child raising lessons, your food and drinks were wonderful and perfectly matched. Snorkeling was great in the USVI and BVI. Our Wedding, Honeymoon became more special because of you. Victor & Andra | | | | Thanks for Knife, spoon, fork.... Andra | |

April 18 to 25, 2009 There were so many great photos from this group. Click on photos to enlarge. | | Thank you both dearly for a wonderful 7 day adventure aboard the "Billy Jean". Everyday a new destination. This vacation has totally exceeded our expectations. Spectacular snorkeling - Turtles + spotted eagle rays!! Partying with the Pirates of the Caribbean and of course being tattooed at Willy T's. With Love, Bill & Carol Pitts from VancouvARRRR!!! | | | | Thank you so much for the good times and the memories: We were impressed with Victoria's knowledge of the night skies, even more impressed with her wicked laser! We were very grateful for the wisdom: If you run into a blind fisherman, give him a beer and everything will be O.K. You made us feel right at home with evening "Teckie Talks" and gadget discussions. You showed us how to party "island style" at Willy T's and Michael Beans. ARRR! You set the scene for perfect evenings with tasty Happy Hour drinks, amazing meals + a mighty cigar with Ed. You broadened our music repertoire with Curt's eclectic iPod playlist. Thanks for bringing back that sense of adventure I knew when I was a child. This was truly special! Thanks for the memories! Cigars, drinks, tasty food, incredible music and lots of laughs Ed & Eileen | | | | Thank you so much for these memories, your friendship and bringing out the pirate in me. Love Bubba (the bare) |

|  | | Dear Curt & Victoria, Billy Jean is my lover!!!! October 5 to 12, 2008 Thank you so much for an unforgettable "Honeymoon"! This has definitely been a week full of memories for both of us ~ a trip that we'll reminisce about forever. Some of our favorite times:  Driving on the "wrong" (left) side of the road.
The food & drinks ~ amazing! (I'm going to e-mail you for recipes!) SNORKELING in the beautiful, crystal clear water ~ a first for Deanne. Barracuda that circled the boat, and feeding the remora. And many more......... But most importantly, you've been the best hosts in the world! Thanks so much for your gracious hospitality, the camaraderie, and wonderful conversations. We hope you will visit us at Lake Oconee in GA, and we'd love to bring the bass boat to FL! Brandon & Deanne Rosso, Bishop Georgia |  |

August 15 to 22, 2008 Thank you sooo much for making our 25 Wedding Anniversary really special! We really enjoyed your fantastic hospitality, expert knowledge, the snorkeling, beaches, weather!!! Loved putting the world to rights too. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! ...Marie Victoria & ["what's his face" just kidding] "Curt" thank for letting us stay on Billy Jean! your home at sea, we loved it. I still think Florida is "not the best" ~ only joking, if we are in the area we would love to catch up. Also come see us in Houston or Perth Australia, if you ever pass that way. Loved the music and Happy Hour ~ sorry we didn't drink all your booze. Take care. Happy Sailing. ...Jerry & Marie Davies xxxx |
May 17 to 24, 2008 We had a great week aboard Billy Jean. We especially loved the morning snorkeling! Exploring Virgin Gorda on a scooter was great. I actually survived Walt's scooter driving ~ it was a little scary at times :-). Thanks for all the advice on where to go and what t see on the islands. Thanks again for a wonderful week. Walt and Nikki VanHouton |
Scooter's "R" Fun!

April 19, 2008 Well, what can we say? Three times a charm! Barney and I work very hard through out the year and our travel schedules have become more hectic then ever! But at the end of our day, when we put our heads down on our pillows ~ one thing that keeps us motivated: to step on the Billy Jean and set sail off to some beautiful island with a great couple we now call "Friends". Thank you for bringing us peace and calm back to our world. All the sleep that we have aver lost (since the day we were born) we caught up with our "shut eye" on the Billy Jean. It will be said to leave you both as we are sad to go home. You guys have re-energized our batteries! Now we will be fully equipped for Barney to continue his success with his Carbon 6 project and for me to continue to help American look younger. Looking forward to seeing your happy smiles in October 2008. Love, Barney & Gina Lee xox |
"The Fardins" March 21 to 28, 2008 | | Staying on a boat for a week was an unforgettable experience for me. I enjoyed snorkeling and seeing tons of fish I have never seen before. I loved the food, it was great! From J.J. Thanks for the trip. Thank you so much for entertaining us and taking such good care of us. The food was awesome and the beer was always cold and tasty. It was great to travel with a crew that is knowledgeable and always gave great advice. Thanks also for taking care of my coral stings. And remember "No Rock -n- Roll." Terry Our trip together was a true experience of a lifetime and one well remember for a long time to come. Thank you for your graciousness & hospitality in opening your boat to us feel right at home, for your tact and diplomacy when it came to dealing with the kids.
